Question for the future(i plan on hopefully taking this class next year sometime). Does it have to be a chest rig or can you use something like a battle belt setup?

Sir, it doesn't really matter. You can use a belt set up with no issues from us.

***Due to the overwhelming number of requests this class is now open to any carbine or rifle. We have gotten a lot of requests from guys who own other types of weapons, including some that just want to attend with their M4. Since Larry is one of the world's true firearms experts Larry loved the idea. If you are interested in attending but don't want to shoot an AK you are cleared hot to sign up. Larry will tailor the class for each individual and the weapon they brought to the class***

Hope to see you guys there
